Idiopathic Ventricular Fibrillation
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and sudden cardiac death (SCD) are disastrous outcomes of various predominant cardiac diseases. The leading cause of SCA and SCD is coronary artery disease. However, SCA/SCD in young patients is mainly caused by congenital disorders of primary arrhythmic or structural origin. SCD is defined as death from an unexpected circulatory arrest, usually because of a cardiac ...
متن کامل[Idiopathic ventricular fibrillation].
Idiopathic ventricular fibrillation is defined as cardiac arrest in the absence of structural heart disease and other identifiable causes of ventricular fibrillation. It occurs in 1% to 9% of survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The mean age of these patients is 35 to 40 years, and 70% to 75% are male. The pathogenesis is unknown; psychosocial factors may play a role. Baseline clinical ...
متن کاملMapping and ablation of idiopathic ventricular fibrillation.
BACKGROUND Ventricular fibrillation is the main mechanism of sudden cardiac death. The feasibility of eliminating recurrent episodes by catheter ablation has not been reported. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty-seven patients without known heart disease (13 men, 14 women, 41+/-14 years of age) were studied after being resuscitated from recurrent (10+/-12) episodes of primary idiopathic ventricular f...
متن کاملLong-duration self-limiting idiopathic ventricular fibrillation.
A 26-year-old woman, with no relevant personal or family history, experienced 3 resting syncopal episodes with tonic convulsions in a period of 2 months.

A subcutaneous Holter was implanted (Reveal® Plus Medtronic, Inc.) which was consulted a fortn...
متن کامل[Family history of sudden death due to idiopathic ventricular fibrillation].
La fibrilación ventricular idiopática (FVI) es una arritmia que ocurre en sujetos sin cardiopatía estructural y que lleva a la muerte súbita (MS), no relacionada con antiarrítmicos, alteraciones electrolíticas, metabólicas ni arritmias hereditarias. Es difícil de identificar por su complejidad fisiopatológica y la ausencia de un sustrato explorable1,2. Existen formas familiares (20%), con carác...
